This site follows cashout times, licences and terms at online casinos for readers in Great Britain, and needs only a few technical tools to do it. Which cookies and similar technologies run here, what each of them does and how a choice about them can be changed or refused is set out below. Cookies are small text files stored on a device by the browser; entries in local and session storage and counting pixels behave in much the same way.
Legal basis
Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) is the rule that applies: information stored on a user's device, or access gained to information already stored there, needs clear and comprehensive information and the user's consent, unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested. That consent must meet the standard of the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7) — freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and as easy to withdraw as to give. Where cookies serve to process personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply as well.
Strictly necessary files
Without them the site could not work reliably. They hold a session open, spread load across servers, guard forms against abuse and remember the cookie choice itself. No separate choice is asked for these. Session files expire when the browser closes, and the stored choice is kept for no more than twelve months.
Third-party files
Files of their own may be set by embedded outside services, videos or maps among them. The privacy rules of that provider then apply too, and an objection to them is raised with the provider. ukplaylookout.com sets no advertising cookies that build profiles for personalised ads without a clear choice in the consent banner.
Functional and analytics files
Settings such as the comparison tables opened last are remembered by functional files. Page views are counted by analytics files, which show which pages are read, so that the content can be improved. Both groups run only after consent has been given in the cookie banner. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and profiles that follow behaviour across different sites are not built.
Refusing and changing consent
Through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time; withdrawal works for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. Cookies can also be blocked and deleted by every browser in its privacy settings, and the manufacturer's help pages describe the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Once the necessary files are deleted the banner appears again, and some features may stop working for a short time.
Supervision
A complaint about the handling of personal data can be made to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority. Details of how personal data is processed are in the privacy policy of this site.
